A few meters away, Rio was thinking to make their bedding asfortable as possible as he gazed at the verdant floras around the water spring.


    After crafting a good n. He started gathering a pile of soft, fragrant leaves from the nearby trees and nts, taking care to choose thergest and most supple ones.


    Rio began to carefullyyer the leaves on top of the sand, arranging them to create a soft andfy bed.


    N and Helia watched in admiration as if he was the most handsome boy they had seen because he was working to improve theirfort.


    A sage once said ''the most handsome of men is he who strives tirelessly, his efforts disyed through the sheen of sweat upon his brow. Such a man exudes strength and determination, and possesses a character that is truly captivating.'' This meant The most attractive man is a hard-working man just like how Rio was right now.


    As he was working, the bedding was finallyplete, Rio stood back and spoke with a faint smile, "It''s done, we can rest now on a cool and soft bed."


    The girls were watching him and didn''t try to disturb him until he was done.


    "Yeeeeeeeeeee... I love you, Rio... You''re the best..." The magenta-haired beauty cheered with a lively smile and showed her gratitude.


    The lioness also wanted to thank him but her words died down her throat.


    N and Helia moved to lie down on the bed of soft leaves, feeling the cool and refreshing sensation brushing against their skin. Although the Lioness was hesitating but she knew the boy had also made it for her so she didn''t want to refuse him like old days.


    Rio also fell beside his wife as theyy down in the cool grass, feeling the weight of their weary bodies lifts away. They had been traveling for hours through the scorching desert, and the oasis was a weing host. But this man-made bed helped them to rx to their heart content.


    The trio was gazing up at the sky, watching as thest remnants of sunlight faded away, giving way to the glittering stars above.


    The stars twinkled and shimmered, creating a magical illustration above them.


    Everyone was silent, lost in the beauty of the night sky after going through a hellish journey.


    The only sounds were the soft rustling of the leaves in the trees and their breathing.


    "Have you ever seen anything so beautiful?" N asked, her voice filled with wonder as she was sleeping beside her man.


    "It''s breathtaking, I never get tired of staring at the stars. This was my favorite thing to do when Grandpa passed away. It also reminds me how small we are, and how vast and infinite the universe is. It makes me feel both insignificant and humbled." The crimson-haired boy spoke, his voice sounded as if he was musing and lost in his thoughts.


    Helia quietly listened to his words as if he was a great sage sharing his exceptional philosophy with an illiterate world.


    Theyy infortable silence for a while, watching the stars and feeling at peace.


    The desert was a harsh and unforgiving ce, but moments like this made them feel like it was not that bad.


    They were feeling grateful for each other''spany but their beloved Lia was missing. The trio enjoyed the beauty of the starry sky high above.


    As the night wore on, Helia and N eventually drifted off to sleep, lulled by the sounds of nature and the peaceful feeling of the stars shining above.


    Rio didn''t sleep as he was nning to guard even though no one asked him to. He wasn''t going to put his guard down just because they hadn''t met any beast so far.


    As the night continued, Rio turned his gaze toward other vegetation that he hadn''t inspected before.<novelnext></novelnext>

    "What????" Rio''s eyes were filled with amazement as he read the description of the third fruit randomly. He sat up from his seat and looked toward the golden orb-like fruit.


    "I thought only beast could increase their innate stats points to be Mutant and king tier but this golden berries description says to boost the innate stats points... I should try it first if it really works on me." The boy was surprised to see such magical stats boosting in front of him but he still needed to confirm if it works or not.


    He walked towards the Golden berries nt in front of him. There were more than two dozen fruits hanging from the lush green nt. The leaves were shaped in the broad shapes of wings.


    He carefully plucked one of the fruit, fearing he would spoil it. As the fruit came in his hand, he didn''t feel anything special about it as it looked ordinary and was only of his thumb size.
